Customer Questions and Answers for Spark Module Kit by Whirlpool

Dale, The spark module would be the part that you are needing to replaced but we would need the model number of the unit to assist with parts look up.

Dan, The spark module on this unit would be located on the lower right side of unit toward the back and you will most likely have to remove or partially remove the side panel to access.

Tony, You're dealing with two different type ignition systems. The oven ignition is a "glow bar"/ hot surface ignition system and is a direct link to the ERC or Thermostat, electrically. The top burners use a switch, spark module, and igniter, they have different power supplies(separate wires). You most likely have a damaged wire or terminal block on the back of the range. You'll need to move the range out of the cabinet and remove the back panels and check for damaged wires or parts.

Carl, If you remove the storage drawer the spark module should be located on the right side at the back and should be able to remove and replace the module.

Hello Laura. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the spark module WPW10331686 is bad on the unit.

Hello Steve. No, you do not need the module. You need to replace the spark switch WP74011648. Module is working fine on the unit.

Hello Greg. In most cases these are located on the back of the frame of the range. The model number will have to be verified on the units I.D. tag since the one listed came up invalid. This will be necessary to look up and specific parts such as the one you requested. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. We will need your model number to help you with this. Please call 1-877-477-7278 or post your model number with a new question on the parts page. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx

Hello Steve, This is usually caused by spills and can normally be cleared by running a safety pin or small paper clip through the orifices. Cleaning the ignitors with white vinegar and an old toothbrush works well also. If this does not correct the issue you may need to disassemble the unit to clean the metal parts between the unit chassis and the burner bases. These surfaces can be best cleaned with sandpaper. The purpose of this is to restore ground for the ignitors to arc off to, (ignition spark).

Hello Larry. You need to look down behind the drawer of the unit. The module should be located down there.

Mark, When looking at the spark module with the terminals for the Line and neutral at the bottom the neutral will go to the right terminal and the L1 will be on the left.
